Figure 8.1 Operations to acquire a difficult target in an anti-access/area-denial scenario. When searching, the unmanned vehicle must communicate and is thus susceptible to counter-acquisition. The vehicle may intermittently have to hide and then resume its search.

Figure 8.3 Reducing the time to resume search raises the performance threshold for automation to be rational (solid line sets
, dotted line sets
). The advantage of automation is in reducing the need to hide. As the cost of hiding reduces, this advantage is eroded.
Figure 8.4 Increasing the time to between the target ceding glimpses raises the performance threshold for automation to be rational (solid line sets

At the end of any major literary undertaking such as writing this book, authors take time to thank the many people who support their work. In this case, however, the editors are supporting, and the main effort, the real work that went into this book, was accomplished by the contributing authors. We justifiably thank them for the time and effort spent to create each chapter, and the patience they displayed with a lengthy submission and editing process. There is no doubt, moreover, that each of them has their own thanks to convey, but it would have made the process much longer and more complicated to include their own thanks here. To those who also supported the various authors in their independent efforts, we are likewise truly grateful.
We are also grateful for the support provided by the Military Operations Research Society (MORS). Four of the chapters, those by Han and Hill; Nguyen, Hopkin and Yip; Henchey, Batta, Karwan and Crassidis; and Deller, Rabadi, Tolk and Bowling first appeared in their research publication, MORS Journal. It is with their kind permission that they are reprinted here. It speaks loudly for the MORS Journal that some of the cutting edge research on this important topic was first presented in their pages.

Given all the attention and investment recently bestowed on unmanned systems, it might seem surprising that this book does not already exist. Even the most cursory internet search on this topic will show professional journal articles, industry symposia proceedings, and technical engineering texts conveying broad interest, substantial investment, and aggressive development in unmanned systems. Yet an internet bookstore or library search for “operations research” combined with “unmanned systems” will come up blank. This book will indeed be the first of its kind.
